VIA Art Fund Artistic Production Grant (Due Nov. 6)
VIA Art Fund Artistic Production Grant
November 6th, 2025
VIA’s Artistic Production Grants fund the production of newly commissioned works of visual art exhibited beyond museum walls, in the public realm, or in non-traditional exhibition environments. These grants are awarded to projects that best exemplify VIA’s three core values of Artistic Production, Thought Leadership, and Public Engagement. Grant amounts range from $25,000 to $100,000.
Eligibility • VIA awards grants to artists, nonprofit organizations, cultural institutions, art production platforms, and biennials or festivals working in the field of contemporary art in the United States and internationally. • VIA does not fund in-house museum or gallery exhibitions. Our support is geared towards high-impact artistic commissions presented in nontraditional exhibition venues and those mounted in the public realm. • Projects must have a confirmed artist (describe in the LOI). • Project must have a confirmed exhibition venue (describe in the LOI). • If the project takes place in the United States, the featured artist(s) may be US-based or international. If the artist is internationally based, then the project must take place in the United States. If you are a nonprofit entity (American or international) applying for support for a project outside the United States, your proposal must feature the work of a US-based artist. • Projects must begin after our grant award notification dates (see current dates and deadlines at viaartfund.org/apply). • Organizations applying must provide proof of nonprofit status. • Previous grantees must wait three full years from the date of their last grant award to re-apply for funding. Previous applicants who were invited to submit a full application but did not receive support must wait one full year to reapply. Previous applicants who did not progress past the LOI stage may not submit an LOI for the same project; they may, however, submit an LOI for a different project in the next cycle.
